Demand market

Jemena has over 1.3 million residential and business customers connected to its gas distribution network. So our service offerings meet the needs of our customers, we differentiate between two broad categories of customer:

volume market customers: this group generally consists of residential and small commercial customers; and

demand market customers: this group generally consists of large commercial and industrial customers.

A demand customer is a single business customer of a large industrial site with very high gas consumption (more than 10TJ per year). Demand customers are generally limited to the top 400 industrial gas customers in New South Wales only.
